Director: Paul Bartel
Year: 1975
First, this is not the recent Death Race film that came out in 2008. The 2008 film has a similar idea, and is basically a twist/re-make of this film.
The film is about a national race where the object of the race is come in first, but you also get points for hitting and killing people with your car. The plot is kind of random and the film is a B movie at best, but that is what is so good about it.
Cars with weapons, violence, political commentary, Sylvester Stallone & David Carradine all come together to make the low budget film an amazing cult film. Nothing flashy or special, but I like it.
And on a side note, if you know of it, this film is basically the film version of the PC game Carmageddon.
